So Julie posted this message in our Private Support Group for our Fit For Life Programme last week
“I’ll be honest, I did wonder if novelty of planner idea would wear off after initial first week –
was it just another thing to add to the ever growing ‘to do’ list? 😩😩😩
After weekend, I hadn’t thought about meals coming for week, not time for shopping as away for work
however, got up this morning and there was last week’s planner…easily adapted cos we’d not eaten all the meals last week so plenty to carry forward.
Now week is organised – food planned, stretching scheduled, everyone knows what’s happening.
Maybe it’s a useful tool after all”
The thing is
You’re going to have to eat anyway
So you may as well use less ‘willpower’
And even if you don’t stick to it 100%
I can guarantee you’ll still make your week that little bit easier
Not having to worry about what and when to eat, who’s where, shopping etc.
And having some structure to fall back on for future weeks, as Julie said.
Now, I personally have to do this on a Sunday or it doesn’t get done
But I just want to build on this point…
I’ve actually learnt a lot about myself, too, over the past few years working with various coaches
You see, I simply DO more and get better results
When I am accountable to someone
Don’t get me wrong, everything I do with my exercise, food and habits is for me to make me happy and better…
but I just personally find I do more and active more when I have someone to report to
Almost like I’m letting them down if I don’t…
Thats just me
And I guess it’s shown in this fitness and diet industry
the fact there are more diet books than EVER
More recipe books than EVER
Yet we still don’t do the things we already know.
50% never actually open the books…
This is why it is so amazing to get messages like this
Because it’s not about knowing what to do but DOING what you know

Like Michelle said:
“It’s got me to finally plan my food. It lives on my fridge so I am constantly reminded of what I should be doing”
And you only get results for DONE 🙂
